Journal Article
The History Manifesto: A Critique
2015
Overview
It is probably in the nature of manifestos to be one-eyed and just a little authoritarian: they are rallying cries to lead soldiers into battle. For that reason, history is a subject almost uniquely ill-suited to manifestos. Historians are not soldiers; they don't fight on a single front, and--at a time when, more than ever before, historians have been operating in an impressive diversity of modes and theaters--they certainly don't need to be led in one direction. In their critique, Cohen and Mandler do not dispute the validity of Guldi and Armitage's favored modes of historiography. The latter have both worked in a variety of time scales (long, short, and medium). They view quantitative and digital methods as useful tools in the historian's repertoire and use them in their own practice (as well as in this critique). They are entirely in favor of the social engagement of scholars outside the academy.
